Two ‘Big Whites’ coming for the RF mount in 2021 [CR2]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Big. Most of the interior of a big white prime is a void, even in the latest III versions.
Knocking 20mm off the register distance is fairly insignificant on those scales.
Only if they start introducing more DO elements will their length be reduced. Look at the RF 70-200 f/2.8, it's actually longer than the EF lens at 200mm. Physics is physics.

Originally, I thought 300 f/2.8 and 400 f/2.8, since those are the two most important lenses for photographing field sports. But we don't know how many pixels the R1 will have and whether it will have crop modes.

Still not in my plans to buy a five-figure priced supertele, but I hope Canon will not sacrifice resolution this time. With mark III on EF they improved corners IQ (and, of course, weight) but lost some resolution. It is seen well when compared with x2 TC. The still-not-updated 300mm f/2.8 mk II is amazing! And 500mm f/4 mk II - too. It is, probably, very hard to make better. But worse is a possibility, unfortunately.

That's what the market dictates unfortunately. If your lens is even 1g heavier than the competitions product, you are a failure.

Never one to object to a pedant but I don’t understand how I have used the saying incorrectly?to be slightly pedantic....

That said, chips in the past tense would be a bargain-basement price

On topic... more big whites would be nice to see but perhaps they will be renamed for political sensibilities.
Well, that would be a battered sav (saveloy), a dagwood dog or a pluto pup in Australian parlance. An acquired taste to be sureOh! Forgive my errant ways

That’s an interesting point, for years I owned motorcycles, big single trail and supermoto style bikes. The best suspension we had then was by a company called White Power, but after a while it was realized that the name had very negative connotations in world markets so was changed to WP.W

I haven't heard anyone referring to the 600/800mm f11 lenses as big blacks... or maybe more accurately big greys

The only real improvement in lens design is in sharpness, and in my opinion sharpness is vastly overrated in its importance. MILC ‘s do allow for more accurate auto focus as well as much wider scene coverage and lower light auto focus.Indeed I see AF improvements as the biggest advantage for MILC’s over DSLR’s.
